5 Fundamental Interactions Standard Model Gravitation Magnetism Electricity Strong Electro - Magnetism Maxwell Physics within the Standard Model Weak not yet known? Glashow, Salam, t'hooft, Veltman,Weinberg Electro -Weak Standard Model Grand Grant Unification Physics outside Standard Model Searches for New Physics?

6 TRIμP Possibilities to Test New Models High Energies & direct observations Low Energies & Precision Measurement

7 Parity P is violated β-decay Time Reversal T Reported violated directly in K-decay CPT Invariance CPT No observed violation reported yet, searched for Strong theorem Combined Charge Conjugation and Parity CP K, B mesons with CPT assumed CP violation implies Tviolation

8 The World according to Escher start P C T matter anti-matter identical to start mirror image time time Time Reversal Violation can be measured at low energies anti-particle particle e + e - From H.W. Wilschut

9 At present we have activities in particular to study: Parity Parity Nonconservation in Atoms Nuclear Anapole Moments Parity Violation in Electron-Scattering Time Reversal and CP-Violation Electric Dipole Moments R and D Coefficients in β-decay CPT Invariance

10 At present we have activities in particular to study: Parity Parity Nonconservation in Atoms Nuclear Anapole Moments Parity Violation in Electron-Scattering Time Reversal and CP-Violation Electric Dipole Moments R and D Coefficients in β-decay CPT Invariance

11 Possible Gains from Parity Violation Experiments In past: - excellent test of Standard Model single Ra + ion future plans Q weak Now: - running of weak mixing angle - sensitivity to some leptoquark models, Z - s-quark content of nucleon - neutron distributions in nuclei - anapole moments - Cs, Fr Atomic Parity Violation experiments are going on - electron scattering & hadron forward scattering going on

12 At present we have activities in particular to study: Parity Parity Nonconservation in Atoms Nuclear Anapole Moments Parity Violation in Electron-Scattering Time Reversal and CP-Violation Electric Dipole Moments R and D Coefficients in β-decay CPT Invariance

13 At present we have activities in particular to study: Parity Parity Nonconservation in Atoms Nuclear Anapole Moments Parity Violation in Electron-Scattering Time Reversal and CP-Violation Electric Dipole Moments R and D Coefficients in β-decay CPT Invariance

14 Matter Antimatter Asymmetry MAY be explained by (Sacharov) - Baryon number violation - Thermal non - equilibrium - CP- violation Beware: There are other routes! e.g. Matter Antimatter Asymmetry MAY be also explained by (Kostelecky et al.): - Baryon number violation - CPT - violation

15 μ x c - 1 { e cm (electron) J = e cm (nucleon) J z z X J J is the only vector characterizing a non-degenerate quantum state magnetic moment: μ x = g μ x c -1 J electric dipole moment: d x = η μ x c -1 J magneton: μ x = eħ / (2m x )

16 Permanent Electric Dipole Moments Violate Discrete Fundamental Symmetries EDM violates: Parity Time reversal CP- conservation (if CPT conservation assumed) Standard Model values are tiny, hence: H= -(d E+µ B) J/J d - electric dipole moment µ - magnetic dipole mom J - Spin An observed EDM would be Sign of New Physics beyond Standard Theory

17 Permanent Electric Dipole Moments are predicted by the Standard Model and a variety of Models Beyond Standard Theory Strong CP Violation LeftRight Symmetry Supersymmetry Higgs Models Technicolor... }No status in Physics, yet Not even wrong There is no indication whatsoever given by nature, yet, which would justify to prefer any of these possibilities

18 A neutral system composed of charged objects re-arranges in an external electric field such that the net force on it cancels on average. This may give rise to significant shielding of the field at the location of the particle of interest (strong) enhancement of the EDM effect Schiff corrections need to be looked at very carefully there is a need for theoretical support

19 Enhancement of EDM in Atomic Shell Heavy Atoms d A /d e 10 Z 3 α 2 Induced Dipol Moment Polarizability in nucleus as well as atomic shell d A = Σ n < nl -d e (β-1) σ E n (l+1) > < n (l+1) -er nl > E nl E n (l+1) + c.c. Example: Tl ~ -585, Fr ~ 1150, Ra ~

20 Neutron has EDM of the Nucleon e.g. Nucleus carries Nucleon EDM plus EDM from CP-odd Nucleon-Nucleon Forces Nucleus may induce EDM into Atom screening dipole operator Schiff operator

25 Some EDM Experiments compared d (muon) < molecules: 199 Hg Start TRIμP d e (SM) < Radium potential after E.Hinds

26 EDM Limits as of summer 2006 Particle Exp. Limit [10-27 e cm] SM [factor to go] Possible New Physics [factor to go] e (Tl) < μ < 1.05 * τ < 3.1 * n < Tl (odd p) < Hg (odd n) < various - Why so many? - Which is THE BEST candidate to choose? None is THE BEST - We need many experiments!

27 EDMs Where do they come from? (are they just painted to particles? Why different experiments? ) electron intrinsic? quark intrinsic? muon second generation different? neutron/ proton from quark EDM? property of strong interactions? new interactions? deuteron basic nuclear forces CP violating? pion exchange? 6 Li many body nuclear mechanism? heavy nuclei (e.g. Ra, Fr) enhancement by CP-odd nuclear forces, nuclear shape atoms can have large enhancement, sensitive to electron or nucleus EDMs molecules large enhancement factors, sensitive to... electron EDM

60 EDM Searches Many objects need to be tested need e*cm free guidance by theory Systems under observation: point particles nucleons Nuclei Atoms Molecules Methods e,μ,τ n, p 2 H, 223 Fr, Xe, Tl, Cs, Hg, Rn, Ra, PbO, YbF, TlF, ThF +, Classical (Cells, Atomic & Molecular Beams) Modern (Traps, Fountains, Interferences) Innovative (Radioactive Species, Storage Rings, {Particles} in Condensed Matter, masers, ) There are many promising approaches to the questions: Is there any EDM? And what is the Source for an EDM?

61 Let s s just do it Large number of Possibilities Conclusions - Find Physics beyond Standard Theory - EDM searches offer a particular nice way at low energies - HE CP-violation searches and LE T-violation T violation searches complementary Urgent issues to be solved in Theory and Experiment - Spectroscopic Groundwork - Schiff Moments - Relation to other approaches towards T-violationT We need NOT one EDM experiment BUT MANY Novel Approaches promise Significant Progress towards - finding New Physics - limiting Parameters in Speculative Models
